A timeless story about family, creativity, perseverance, and the hero's journey we all must take to discover who we're meant to become.
Perfect for readers who loved The Phantom Tollbooth, The Little Prince, The Twenty-One Balloons, and The Alchemist, this enchanting tale weaves humor, heart, and profound wisdom into an unforgettable adventure about staying true to yourself while finding your place in the world.
Fourteen-year-old Avery Dawn is possibly the worst cobbler in the history of the Isle of Should—a beige, sensible place where people do one of three things: farm, build houses, or make shoes. That's it. But the best of Avery’s shoes give people goose-shaped blisters. Despite his family’s expectations, Avery jumps at the chance to leave his home to distribute the well-made shoes his homeland is known for.
Avery's "simple" delivery job spirals into an odyssey through the weirdest corners of existence, armed with nothing but a squeaky wheelbarrow, practical shoes, and an unshakeable need to create. From the State of Sleep through The Land of Plenty and into The Ruins of Have Not, Avery then wobbles his way through The Berms of Balance. Armed with a magical potion, even more bizarre obstacles spring this coming-of-age self-discovery into the most meaningful cup of coffee you could imagine.
